What Do Your Numbers Mean?

All numerology is based on an understanding of the meaning of numeric vibrations. Here, the reader will discover the basic vibration for numerals zero to ten along with the Master Numbers 11 and 22. You should be aware that most Numerologists begin by considering the importance of each number and interpret the larger combinations before reducing the number to a smaller base value ranging from zero to ten.

The following numerology chart can be used in interpreting numbers by considering both their symbolic and literal meanings throughout history. The interpretations presented here are basic and typical and it is important to remember that each number may hold its own interpretation of the individual as all are unique and it is up to each person to determine his or her own interpretation. If one has already determined an individual numeric symbolism, it will be more important than the historical meanings portrayed in the following chart.

Numerology Numbers:

The number zero is a concept used in the Latin as "nulla figura", a term that translates not any figure. Zero is a relatively new term for mystical symbolism.

Ancient Olmecs and Mayans, with a basic understanding of Zero represented the term as an oyster which was empty. The oyster is a life giver so Zero is both hollow and empty but also creates a living thing as though through magic.

The number two, in the modern context represents the bad. Two is the natural opposite of one, seen as goodness and God; however, no number should be seen as bad by itself and context must be considered. Symbolically, the number could be interpreted as the use of pairs of pillars that signify the entrance to a holy veil or temple.

The Pentagram, when placed with a single point upward or turned upside down with two points upward may signify the difference between the goodness of one and the badness of two. In its symbolic interpretation, the symbol for two may be seen as the two horns of the devil's head.
